Northland women's team
-
I don't know if Northland supporters are aware, or care, but there's a Northland women's team that joins the Farah Palmer Cup competition for the first time, this year. If nobody is interested, you can just let this thread die; I'm only drawing your attention to it, just in case.
The Northland team may be new to the FPC, they have plenty of talent, including Black Ferns hooker Te Kura Ngata-Aerengamate and former Black Fern and Counties Manukau Heat playmaker Victoria Subritzky-Nafatali.
Here's more info about the team:

From the Northland Women's Rugby Facebook page:
Today's the day Northland made their debut in the Farah Palmer Cup!! We went down 64-31 but the result wasnt the important thing today...having a team on the field representing Northland...that's what was important!! Big Barrel Hawkes Bay Tui 64 Northland Kauri 31 (Savannah Bodman 3, Harono Te Iringa, Krystal Murray tries. Krystal Murray 3 cons) -
@Stargazer thanks. Have been following this and hoping to catch the highlights. Great to see the Women in the Farah Palmer Cup. Hopefully they can show up the men before the season is over.

@kev Unfortunately, this game wasn't televised (or streamed), so there probably won't be a highlights video. The guy who often makes highlights videos of local HB games, may have made one, but there was a development game at the same time, so he may have filmed that game instead. I'll keep an eye on it.

Well done to the women! Takes a bunch of sheilas to show the dudes how to play code. At least they’re flying our flag with pride.
Saw the second half of this match and there was some willing stuff. Our girls look very physical, and with more experience at this level they could go a long way.

Oh, how the mighty Kauri have grown
After finally breaking into the sunlight, Northland Kauri faced being axed from this year's Farah Palmer Cup. But if anything, that's only made them stronger.
